How to consume South Indian Food - Thali without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion sizes of high-carb items like rice and breads in the Thali to manage blood sugar levels effectively.

Incorporate Fiber

Add more fiber-rich foods to your meal. Opt for dishes that include lentils and legumes, such as sambar or dal, which can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Prioritize Protein

Include more protein-rich components in your Thali like paneer dishes, or add a serving of curd, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Vegetable Emphasis

Load up on non-starchy vegetables, such as okra, spinach, and eggplant, to add volume to your meal without causing a spike.

Opt for Whole Grains

Choose whole-grain options over refined grains. If available, opt for dishes made from brown rice or millets.

Healthy Fats

Add a moderate amount of healthy fats like avocado or coconut, which can slow down the digestion process and reduce spikes.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to process the food, helping to avoid rapid increases in blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after your meal to help reduce blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after meals to understand how different foods affect you and adjust your diet accordingly.
